Icic. Cause in Taylor's now, i bring photocopied notes to class get scold by lecturer, consider illegal 

I scare in RMIT if i photocopied a few pages from reference book will get scold also  Especially tutorial time, i really need them.

Cool man. That's very brave of you. Assie Style: Do the crazy thing and point the middle finger at the police car passes by. It's all coming down to a conclusion, we run out of bed in Melbourne. If you own a spare one, offer it. Otherwise, just talk right?

1st of all, I'm a new student going to Melbourne this coming february, i found tht ur service is juz spoonfeeding new students like me. I did my visa everything myself, and i didnt even go find any education agents like IDP or ASA, I look up everything online, through lowyat forum and google of course.

2nd, its a shame to hear tht u went there alone and was a victim by spending time adapting there urself, n u actually find the route in melbourne confusing. I never went there yet, but looking at the maps i dled from major map websites, I think the route there is way much better than the routes in Penang or KL. To me, wut u actually nid are some surviving skills. Maybe u r raised as a kids tht thinks study is the major skill tht is needed to go through different parts of lifes, no it isnt. I'm no scout or ranger, but i learn those skills by mixing wif different ppl. I hav many frens studying in Melbourne, and thus i try to talk to them, getting many valuable infos from them.

3rdly, if i'm correct its hard to get into homestay for ppl above 18 years old, i got tht info from Housing brochure university of Melbourne sent me. If they r wrong, maybe u can rectify them by telling them their mistakes. But in my case, I prefer to look for everything myself, so tht i get to know more ppl. To me, experience is important.

4th, Its too easy to notice tht u r using 2 accounts to promote ur business here, nice try though.

Errr ... just wondering, Is photostatting allowed in Melbourne?

If you need the entire book, and the book is rather thick, I suggest buying secondhand. They aren't very expensive. Might be cheaper than photocopying.

But if you need a few pages then please photocopy. It is not illegal as long as it's not for commercial purposes or for profit.

EDIT: Come to think of it, if you need only some parts of the book, then just borrow it off the library. Make use of the library. You've paid for it.

  icic, thx for all the replies.
oh yea, forgot about second hand books. Hopefully there are seniors selling around some reference book  .

I dun like using the library cause everytime due need to go back and return the book 

Even my high school also like that ... Finish choosing subjects then you gotta go get the books and uniforms . School is starting next week by the way , What about for unis and college ?

external student?

hmmm strange term. my best guess would be a student that is taking the uni courses at home. and not at the physical brick and morter uni itself. kinda like online study. thats my guess at least.

Someone who does not study on campus. Usually distance learning students. And generally part time. A part time student can be both and external and internal student. It is rare for full time students to do externals, but some do.

In a nutshell: Internal = on-campus, External = off-campus. However, be aware there are exceptions to the rule. And as far as I know, international students can't do external while IN Australia.

As defined in the previous thread:
I'm not sure why it causes so much confusion throough. Most Malaysians will never be an external student for an Australian University if they are planning on stepping on Australian soil.

I went to my school earlier ... Even Year 11 need the graphic calculator ... It cost a bomb ! I was sooo down and depressed as I was saving money for a guitar ( Hehe ) ... But then ... I found out that my sis in law and my bro actually have it ... Wahahha ... Happy =D

Stuffs at Big W like exercise book is actually cheaper than the school's recommended bookshop right ?

yea, you're right, the calculator I brought for high school costs $180 

Did they recommend Wooldridges ? If so, don't buy from there, buy from Big W instead, cheaper. 

Yes ... Woolbridges ... Mind telling me whats a Display Book ? Exercise Book as in blank pad or like ''Buku Kerja'' in Malaysia ? If its like a normal blank exercise book ... Go Big W ... SO much cheaper . But textbook I must get from Woolridges . I took visual art ... And they got an art pack ... Do I need to buy from Woolridges ? Because it's under the school's name .
